Blogging in Bed

And it feels so decadent! Lucas has a very early wakeup time, because he has to be on a job site before sunrise! I hate it when we don’t go to bed together, so he’s on his way to dreamland and I’m watching trashy TV. And busting out a quick blog post.

A big day of food for me, starting with Cascadian Farms kids cinnamon crunch cereal, which although delicious did NOT keep me full for very long:

So I broke my normal no-coffee-on-weekdays rule:

And that held me over for an amazing lunch — an egg sandwich on leftover focaccia bread:

Mmmmm, toasty. I also had a bunch of veggies and some kettle corn.

I had thawed some salmon for dinner, but didn’t feel like the same ol’ grilled preparation. So, I stopped by an Asian grocery store on the way home from work and did homemade sushi!

This was pretty good — I need a sharper knife and a real bamboo roller thing. I used saran wrap and a flexible cutting board and made do, but the rolls started to fall apart when I cut them.

I had a ton of leftovers, so I’ll be munching on these rolls for lunch and dinner tomorrow, most likely.

Time for blogger truth? I went a little nuts after dinner. I was listless, a little bored and basically unfulfilled by dinner — so I hit the pantry pretty hard. Cookies, an apple with barney butter, some cereal and almond milk … ouch. When the binge monster comes on, it’s like I know what’s happening, I just don’t have the power to stop it. I eat way past a comfortable feeling, and basically have to wait until the monster is done.

I notice it most on days when I work out, which is … well, almost every day. This morning, I got up and did a 4-mile run before work. I’m not sure if I should just eat a bigger breakfast on my workout days, or just force myself to stop eating at 9pm? I’d love to hear any advice you have.

Tomorrow’s another day, and I refuse to feel defeated. Here’s to a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
